The Flame in the Flood

Distinctive, stylised art style

A raft journey down a procedurally generated river through a flooded, abandoned America, where you scavenge, craft and avoid predators. The survival struggle is backed by a moody folk soundtrack and a bold illustrated look.

Rain World

Tactical depth

You play a small slugcat in a decaying, unforgiving ecosystem, hunting for food and evading predators before the deadly rain arrives. The simulated wildlife, enigmatic world and steep difficulty make every escape feel unique.

Darkwood

Tactical depth

Darkwood is a bleak top-down survival horror where you scavenge a eerie, partly randomized forest by day and barricade your hideout against horrors by night. Its surreal atmosphere and deliberately cryptic story create constant dread.

Blue Prince

Puzzles and brain teasers

You explore a mysterious mansion whose layout you rebuild each day by drafting rooms, slowly unraveling layered puzzles on the hunt for Room 46. Roguelike planning meets deep discovery and secrets.

Below

Lavish presentation

An atmospheric survival roguelike in which a tiny wanderer descends into procedurally generated caverns full of hunger, cold, traps and creatures. Death is harsh and punishing, and the mood is lonely and dark.

The Sexy Brutale

Puzzles and brain teasers

You are stuck in a looping day inside a sinister casino mansion, playing a priest who must save guests from their murderers. You observe routines, sneak around staff, and piece together the perfect timetable to unravel each puzzle.

The Witness

Puzzles and brain teasers

A vibrant, deserted island packed with line-maze puzzles whose rules you must figure out entirely without instructions. The real reward is the epiphany of grasping each hidden principle, even in the landscape itself.
